Even more frustrating...some companies are putting out bonds that they will pay out when they recover the money they paid to the government for these tariffs. There are members of Trump's administration that have bought these bonds.
So you're paying higher prices for everything and Trump's guys (and likely Trump himself too) are going to profit from it.
Trump is 79 and apparently has some kind of medical issue (it must be serious considering that they're covering it up). Hopefully this orange ass-clown won't live long enough to enjoy it.
not that i doubt this but do you have a source for the info? very curious to learn more about this, havent heard as much before
Sorry I don't have a an exact source. From what I recall they were talking about this on the Bulwark a month ago I think? It's such a weird thing (is bond the right word for it?) that there's even a term for it. So it's not an easy thing to search for. What do you even call it when you can buy a piece of a tax refund that you expect to happen when the court rules the government levied an illegal tax?
